Umar said about 302, 500 hectares of farmlands were submerged and about 120 animals were killed due to flooding experienced across the state. He said 19 out of 23 local government areas in Sokoto State were affected by the devastating flooding since the start of the rains in year 2020.

Also, NEMA Head of Sokoto Field Office, Dr Kofoworola Soleye, who represented the Director General, AVM Muhammadu Muhammed (retd) said the meeting was aimed at brainstorming with relevant stakeholders on disaster management and to fashion out modes of response.

He said that the officials would also review measures that were responsible for the level of successes recorded in the past years.
